Flawed but fun

One of the joys I'm finding in photography is the exploration. Just thought I would share these photos because they were done in the spirit of "what if I just try this"......and I like the results. I'm not going to attempt to refine them but keep them as sketches for possible future projects.

Doing these sketches is an interesting exercise. Provides grist for the creative mill , your mind open to new options and you never know what and when it will click

Andrew;

One of the joys I'm finding in photography is the exploration.

I couldn't agree with you more and I really like these sketches. I think that #3 is more that a sketch - take a bit off the left and it is a very nice image. Did you add lighting or was this how you found them?

I agree with what Trevor wrote about having these ideas in a sort of creative bank for future use.

Keep exploring!

number 3 is a wallhanger

"Seeing" possibilities is half the battle. Looking for them helps enormously. Good work. No. 3 is just about there for me as well.

'Must be for a man cave project thinking... I have been staring at your shots for a while and still couldn't get the grips of what they are and what they are for. #2 resembles electrical wires in some places. In any case, I like #1.

Not to worry Isabel, it's a guy thing.

I can feel the power going through these ! Very interesting experiment Andrew.

Nice images. They would fall into a category of things that we see everyday but do not see. Even less now that everyone's heads are stuck into their phones.

#2 could have been better if the right side was less "glowy" or the right side more.

Hi Andrew, I would crop #1 from right and left both to get a vertical version.I would actually like #2 but lighting stops me,so many eye tiring reflections...#3 is excellent

Thank you for all the kind comments. I walk to work each day along a city constructed biking/running/walking path that parallels a section of the railroad tracks of the "northeast corridor" (the Metroliner passing at 120+ mph is a challenge I keep trying to capture with my camera, but that's another story). For reasons unknown to myself a floodlight along the tracks illuminated this scene in a way I had not previously seen as I walked home one evening. I returned with my camera and tripod and these were the results of my first efforts at shooting in the dark. Some might argue that I'm always "shooting in the dark" but that's yet another discussion.
